Northaven Attack
Sheriff's deputies are looking for a man who attacked a teenager and another man in the Northaven area. The victim, a 16 year old boy was shot and the 22 year old man with him was beaten.
Deputies were called to the North Shelby County neighborhood just before 8 p.m. Investigators say the attack happened near the intersection of Breckenwood and Brandywine.
The victims told detectives a man in a gray Dodge Intrepid pulled along side of them as they walked near the intersection. After the attack, the two victims then ran to the home of the 22 year old man in the 800 block of Pitney where people at that house called for deputies. Both victims were taken to the Regional Medical Center. The teenager shot is in critical condition. The man with him is in stable condition.
Investigators have not released the names of the victims since all members of their family have not been notified.
Woman killed in I-76 accident
Family members say Wadsworth High School graduate Rebekah Swartz was a loving and happy 19-year-old who doted on her grandparents and collected zebra figurines.
She was looking forward to a future in cosmetology.
She loved the color purple, her pug, Otis, and most especially, her white 2001 Dodge Intrepid, which she bought one year ago on Christmas Eve, said her mother, Rita Swartz.
``Her car was everything,'' Swartz said. ``She was coming home from her grandpa's house on Christmas Eve when she found it. She had to have it.''
The teen died Saturday after a three-vehicle crash involving her Intrepid. She was on her way to visit a friend. She and her mother had been to a funeral earlier that day and went out shopping afterward, family members said.

Hamann does up the Ferrari 599 GTB
Hamann, the tuner of all manner of exotica, has gotten their grubby little paws on Ferrari's finest grand tourer, the 599 GTB.To begin with, the Hamann treatment does not augment the engine, exhaust or suspension in any way, instead leaving the 600+ HP, V12 to do its job as Ferrari's engineers saw fit.Hamann opted to focus their attention on the 599's bodywork, adding a chin spoiler, extending the side skirts and tacking on a new rear diffuser. Although down force is rarely a problem with Marnello motorcars, Hamann added a duo of wings: one gracing the edge of the bumper, while another sits atop the rear window.Naturally, wheel choice is where the tuner excels and in the case of the 599, 21-inch wheels are fitted at all four corners, with 245 tires up front and 345s in the rear.If you've got the coin, you could certainly do worse, but we think the 599 GTB speaks for itself quite well, right from the factory.More pics after the jump.
